Well Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen was published in 1935. Bell's Theorem was published in 1964. Bell's wasn't tested experimentally until 1972, by which time it was largely forgotten except for creative fellow who worked out a way to test it.

I think having testability as a qualification for theory might not serve us well.

It blows my mind how much we have deduced about black holes in 100+ years, yet it was only very recently that we could actually "see" one. Would hate to lose that.

I've always considered Bell's solution somewhat obvious.

It wasn't team Einstein's responsibility to propose a solution, his motive was a rebuttal.

The fact that it went unstated for 30 years, Einstein died in 1955, reflected poorly on team Heisenberg.
